Insane Japanese movie in insane Japanese trailer shocker
Movie Trailer | Luke | 21st June 2013
At 1:03 into this trailer for Gatchaman (known as Battle of the Planets in the West) the words "BUMP OF CHICKEN" appear on screen, and it's the only thing that comes close to making any sort of sense. -
Before Robocop there was... FUTURE COP!
Movie Feature | Luke | 8th June 2013
I stumbled upon this amazingly awkward intro for 1970s sci-fi show Future Cop, after discovering the main guy - an actor named Michael Shannon - had played 'President's Aide' in Superman II and was trying to turn that into a feature. But this is much better. By which I mean much worse. -

The 5 (million) dumbest things about Star Trek Into Darkness
Movie Feature | Luke | 24th May 2013
When Matt reviewed Star Trek Into Darkness he echoed what many others have said: lots of fun but bobbins plot and too much reliance on nostalgia. So with my expectations suitably lowered I embarked upon a little trek of my own to the cinema, and - unfortunately - it turned out to be much more of a Slow Slog Into Dumbness than I had feared. Here's my best attempt at explaining why. (Mahoosive spoilers and frothy entitlism ahead - you have been warned!)

Movie Trailer | Luke | 16th May 2013
Geddit? 'Riddick you lose', ridicul- ah what's the point. Here are a dozen and a bit sarcastic comments below some stills from the first trailer for the new Riddick film, Riddick, which stars Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick. I literally just found out that's his full name.
